FORT ANN, N.Y., Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Shocking lifelong secrets exposed of traumatic childhood memories. Physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, rape, substance abuse/overdose, sex trafficking, and more are recalled openly in great detail as Lisa Jo Symonds writes of the life-long battle between good and evil that raged within her. At 15 and pregnant, homeless and hungry, she mastered the streets to survive. She spent 50 years in evil darkness before a near fatal overdose in April of 2018. Through faith and determination she finally stopped fighting the fight that had already been won and claimed victory over her emotional pain and addictions.
Lisa Jo began writing a series of powerful posts on Facebook depicting her horrific childhood memories in detail. In response people began to rally behind her in full support. Her social media followers grew in numbers in just a few short weeks from a few hundred to over 15,000 as fellow addicts and abuse survivors began to come forward with stories of their own and searching for the help they have needed their entire lives. Fueled by their requests and support, Lisa Jo wrote her book of memoirs, "The Hands That Held Me".
"The Hands That Held Me" took the #1 Hot New Release on Amazon within 24 hours after its release. 5-star reviews began to pour in shortly thereafter and continue flowing in as more and more people are jumping on the fan-wagon. Lisa Jo promises future releases in response to reader requests.
A book signing is being held in her hometown of Fort Ann, New York at Grumbellies eatery on January 2nd from 5:30 7:30 p.m., and future book signings are expected between Rutland, Vermont and Albany, New York over the next few months.
